A new year has begun. A new opportunity is awaiting you. The past is gone, and the present is all we have. In this given moment we have the chance to begin again, and the opportunity to create something new, or to dream a new dream, or to do something we have never done, and we have the big opportunity to create the life we have always imagined. In this new year, are you going to begin to create your dream or continue building it? or are you going to lose another opportunity to make your dreams come true? Now is the right time to start building your dreams and create the life you have always imagined!

The celebrations are over. The New year’s eve has past. We have celebrated with our family and friends, and we welcomed this new year with hope and enthusiasm. We started the new year full of feelings and emotions, full of hope and optimism, full of new dreams, goals and desires. The first couple of weeks we feel motivated, we are full of enthusiasm, and something about this new year makes us believe that this will be the year that we will make all the things we have always wanted to do.

We start living the first month of this new year with happiness and passion, hopeful and full of faith. But as time goes by, all those beautiful emotions we had on New Year’s eve, all hopes, dreams, desires, all enthusiasm and optimism start to fade away. We begin to immerse ourselves in the darkness of our daily routines and day after day our dreams begin to go back to the drawer of oblivion. An a couple of months later, all those wonderful feelings we once had are replaced with stress, despair, tiredness, and frustration.

“What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.” – Alexander Graham Bell

Then, the year ends and now we do begin to dream again, we believe that the new year will bring us all the things we have always wanted, and once again, all those emotions we once had, begin to appear once again in our hearts putting us in the most wonderful of the states. But I wonder, is this kind of life that looks like if we were living on a roller coaster the meaning of life, the purpose of our existence? Is that our destiny? Once again, as an unstoppable dreamer that I am, I have to say no. Life is something we create, with our thoughts, and actions and with the attitude we adopt day by day.

Therefore, we should not wait any longer to start building our dreams. Life goes fast and if we are not careful we will end up building someone else’s dreams and we will call that “our job” protecting it more than our own dreams. The truth is that this system was created in a way that it makes it almost impossible to live without it. It made us so dependent, that we normally tend to deny all our own dreams because we have the need to serve this system in order to survive. The good news are that we can find the way to depend less from it and be more free, and the way to do it is by finding the time to build our own dreams.

A day has 24 hours, a week has 168 hours, and a month has around 730 hours, and that means we have always time to do at least one thing per day that will push as closer to our dreams. Therefore, we should start by discovering our dreams and goals and set up all the steps we need to do along the year to make them a reality. How do we increase the chances to make that happen? By doing more of what will push us closer to them and doing less of the things that don’t serve us. For example, watching less television, spending less time doing nothing, spending less money on things that we don’t need, and so on. Remember that all those people who have created the life they have imagined, have had the same amount of time than you. It is all a matter of priorities. No matter how busy you are, or how much work do you have, use any spare time to build you dreams.

Do little, do much, but never stop doing. Use the time that God has given you in your favor and not against. The key is to start now, wherever you are, with whatever you have. Start building your own dreams before you end spending all your life building other people dreams. Go out and create the life you dream!

The actions we take today are the foundations of our future. We create our own future, that is to say, we reap what we sow. We are the architects of our own life, and the future that awaits us, is the future we are creating now. Therefore, in order to have the life we have imagined, there is something we need to remember: Our future starts today!

The reality is that none of us know what is going to happen in our future, but the actions we take in our present can give us an idea of how our future is going to look like. It is simple as that, what we do today or what we cease to do has a consequence in our life. We create with every action we take our future, therefore, it depends on us to create today what we want to experience tomorrow.

Normally we get surprised when life suddenly punches us in our face with the truth. The truth about that life has gone quickly and our reality is far from being the one that we have ever dreamed of. That is the moment when we ask ourselves – What have I done all my life? How can I be in this situation now when I wanted something different for my life? What has gone wrong? Well my friend, you have been very busy doing something else rather than being focused in creating the life you have always imagined

“The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe

The problem is that we see our future as something distant to us, but is not. Life goes quickly, very quickly, and if we are not careful we could end up living a life that is far from the one in our dreams. To avoid that, we have to focus in the life that we want, and take the right actions in order to create it, and we have to start today, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, but today. The problem is that we usually leave everything for tomorrow, because we do not realize how close our future is, but in fact it starts today, and with every little action we are creating our own destiny.

Everything that you want to achieve in your future requires you to take a certain action in your present. It might be tough, hard and unpleasant, but if you really want to get to the place where you want to get, you will have to take those necessary actions in order to triumph. Our future is unknown, but we can do everything we can in order to create the life that we want, or we can leave everything to chance and see what happens.

“The future depends on what you do today.” – Mahatma Gandhi

Do you want to get that degree you really want and become the person you imagine? Well, start today, study, work hard and create today the person you want to become. Do you want to be successful? Do not act as a loser expecting one day to become successful. Be successful now, make the actions that will make you a successful person. Do you want to have your own business? Perfect! Work hard today and take all the necessary actions until you make it a reality. If you want something tomorrow, you will have to make something today that will push you closer to what you want. It is what you do today what defines your future.

What I’m saying here is that you shouldn’t worry about your future, I mean, if you are creating the life that you want, why worry then? We have to live in the present knowing that our future starts today. Focus your mind in the present moment, enjoy every single minute of your life, but at the same time create today the life you would like to experience tomorrow. Don’t gamble with your life, don’t let everything to chance, don’t create today a life from which you will regret in your future.

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” – Mother Teresa

What you are doing today is leading you to the place where you want to get or are you merely drifting? What you are doing today is helping you to achieve what you really want? Be honest with yourself and answer this question – Are you working in your goals and dreams or are you too busy doing less important things? It’s a yes or no question. Answers like “sometimes”, “maybe”, “I don’t have time”, “I don’t have money” are not allowed. If the answer is yes – Congratulations! Keep moving forward! But if the answer is no, you can either continue like that and see what your future holds, or you can start by creating the future you want now with no excuses, no delays, no distractions.

Life is like the book “Choose your own story”, you are writing your own book, and you create your own ending by the decisions you take and actions you make. Life can be sometimes unpredictable and some circumstances are unavoidable, but we are the creators of the major part of our lives. Choose to create now the future you dream!
